1. We would appreciate any further brief description of how the designated safeguarding lead duties are split in your setting?
2. Is the job description of the designated safeguarding lead role as set out in Annex C an accurate reflection of the role in your experience?
What changes if any would you like to see in Annex C that may support the designated safeguarding lead role?
3. We intend to run a further round of DfE-run webinars on a variety of topics to support you in your role. Which three topics would you find most useful?
4. We realise that some schools and colleges teach children from different local authority areas, therefore differences in local arrangements, approach, thresholds, and support offers can bring additional difficulties for schools and colleges. What issues does this present?
5. Has your setting been included in discussions with statutory safeguarding partners to agree the levels for the different types of assessment and services to be commissioned and delivered, as part of the local safeguarding arrangements?
6. Do you feel that your school or college is sufficiently included in your local safeguarding partner arrangements? How does this affect your school or college and its handling of safeguarding cases?
7. Do your local safeguarding partners provide designated safeguarding lead training? If yes, in your opinion, is it useful?
